The Nigerian fighter is the current welterweight champion and will have to defend his title in a long-awaited rematch against Leon Edwards.. The fight between the two will be the main event of the upcoming UFC 278, which will take place on August 20 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Usman, with a record of 20 wins and only one defeat over the course of his career, is currently regarded as the best UFC fighter by the brand himself. The 35-year-old fighter is ranked # 1 on the pound-for-pound ranking.. This ranking tries to determine who is the best of the athletes in relation to their weight, i.e. who would win if they all competed in the same weight category.
Usman’s role in the Ryan Coogler-directed film is still unknown. In this way the fighter becomes part of the cast of one of the most anticipated films of the year. The trailer for “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” alone managed to accumulate more than 172 million views in the first 24 hours. This positioned the teaser as one of the most viewed in Marvel Universe history on its first day of release.
fans for years
Usman has spent years expressing his fanaticism for “Black Panther” and his desire to play a role in the story.. On a few occasions, the welterweight king even released montages that dressed him in the suit worn by the late Chadwick Boseman during “Captain America: Civil War”. That said, we can’t wait to see how the champion performs on the big screen.
